Abstract: This study investigates the attentional and emotional impact of different image types in medical crowdfunding campaigns, and how these images impact donations. Building on signaling theory and evolutionary explanations for the drivers of altruism, we hypothesized that donors will be more likely to support campaigns with images that depict illness than campaigns with images […]

Abstract Carousel ads introduce a unique interactive element to in-feed social media advertising by prompting consumers to swipe sideways. Four studies offer novel insights into the “carousel effect” that results from the interactivity and multi-card structure of carousel ads. An exploratory investigation of how consumers perceive and experience carousel ads reveals four experiential themes: curiosity, […]

Abstract: Very short answer questions (VSAQs) have gained attention for their superior psychometric properties compared to multiple-choice questions (MCQs). While VSAQs require knowledge recall, MCQs primarily involve knowledge recognition. This difference in cognitive processes may lead to varying cognitive workloads, defined as the amount of mental processing in working memory. Previous studies have not demonstrated […]

Introduction Healthcare team performance directly impacts the quality and safety of medical care. However, measuring the performance of teams is challenging and requires methodologies to investigate different contributing elements. This study proposes an AI(artificial intelligence)-driven multimodal approach to visualising gaze (ie, joint visual attention) and speech in medical team performance and examines how these might differ […]

This paper presents a case study usability evaluation of a graphical user interface (GUI) used in the Virtual Terrain Image Generation System (VTIGS) developed by AMST Systemtechnik GmbH. The GUI is used by instructors to configure night vision training scenarios for pilots using Night Vision Goggles (NVG). However, many instructors are non-aviation professionals. This study […]

Gaze attention estimation is the task that aims to understand where each person is looking in each scene. In this study, we introduce a new annotated dataset that is derived from medical simulation training videos, capturing diverse and authentic clinical scenarios from a practical medical environment and annotated by the ground truth data from eye-tracking […]

Cities are experiencing accelerated growth in visitor numbers to the point of overcrowding, raising concerns about negative effects on both destinations and residents. Academic discourse on overtourism primarily addresses environmental damage, infrastructure overload, and resident dissatisfaction, often overlooking how tourists experience overcrowding. When examined, tourist experiences have predominantly been measured using subjective self-report tools such […]

Given the importance of one-on-one interactions between teachers and children for preschoolers’ language development, understanding teachers’ distribution of attention during interactions is essential. This mixed-methods single case study investigates how one teacher distributes her attention and interaction opportunities among four children. A data triangulation approach combining quantitative mobile eye-tracking data and qualitative data was used […]

Joint decision making in team interaction is key to successful healthcare. In such a context, the leader’s rejection of a colleague’s proposal could happen, which could be face-threatening (Brown and Levinson in Politeness: some universals in language usage. Cambridge University Press, 1987; Goffman in Psychiatry 18:213–231, 1955). This chapter multimodally analyses team interactions in emergency […]

Kazakhstan has adopted an alphabet reform and is planning to fully transition the Kazakh alphabet from Cyrillic to Latin script by 2031. This places young learners at a significant disadvantage, creating unwanted challenges to early and continuous literacy development and acquisition of the new script. In light of the alphabet transition, there appears a need […]
